Definitions

  • the disclosed and claimed concept pertains generally to infant beds and, more particularly, to an infant bed having a movable heater assembly.
  • some beds especially those for use by infants in hospitals and other medical settings, include both a bed and a heater of some type.
  • Some heaters are of an elongated radiant configuration that generates radiant heat and projects it in a downward direction toward an upper surface of the bed to warm the infant.
  • Radiant warmers used in such beds typically generate radiation in the medium wave infrared spectrum. Irradiance and temperature of such warmers are typically the subject of standards that depend upon the location of use of the bed.
  • the apparatus includes a tray assembly, a support structure for supporting the tray assembly, one or more articulating arms coupling the tray assembly and support structure and two or more pivot joints pivotally connecting each of the tray assembly and the support structure to at least one of said or more articulating arms, wherein pivoting said at least one of said one or more articulating arms about at least one of said two more pivot joints adjusts at least one of a vertical, horizontal, and lateral positioning of the tray assembly.
  • an improved bed apparatus as described in claims 1 and 4 is presented.
  • the bed is movably disposed on a support, and the heater assembly is movable to enable alignment between the bed and the heater assembly to promote uniformity of irradiance on a patient situated on the bed.
  • the bed and heater assembly are movable together to maintain alignment between the bed and the heater assembly.
  • the bed and the heater assembly are independent, but one or more indicators are provided to enable manual alignment between the bed and the heater assembly.
  • An aspect of the disclosed and claimed concept is to provide an improved bed apparatus.
  • Another aspect of the disclosed and claimed concept is to provide an improved bed apparatus having a movable heater assembly.
  • Another aspect of the disclosed and claimed concept is to provide an improved bed apparatus having a movable heater assembly that promotes uniformity of heating of a patient situated on the bed.
  • an improved bed apparatus including a support, a bed disposed on the support and movable about a pivot axis among a plurality of bed positions, and a radiant heater assembly movable about the pivot axis among a plurality of heater positions, the radiant heater assembly in a first heater position being oriented to face toward the bed in a first bed position, the radiant heater assembly in a second heater position being oriented to face toward the bed in a second bed position.
  • the word "unitary” means a component is created as a single piece or unit. That is, a component that includes pieces that are created separately and then coupled together as a unit is not a “unitary” component or body.
  • the statement that two or more parts or components "engage” one another shall mean that the parts exert a force against one another either directly or through one or more intermediate parts or components.
  • the term “number” shall mean one or an integer greater than one (i.e., a plurality).
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an improved bed apparatus 4 according to the principles of the disclosed and claimed concept.
  • the apparatus 4 includes a support 8, a bed 12 disposed on support 8, and a radiant heater assembly 16 disposed on support 8.
  • Bed 12 is movable among a plurality of bed positions.
  • radiant heater assembly 16 is movable among a plurality of heater positions in order to maintain alignment between radiant heater assembly 16 and bed 12, which promotes uniform warming of a patient (not expressly depicted herein) situated on bed 12.
  • support 8 includes a base 20 and a strut 24.
  • Base 20 typically is configured to be situated on a structural element such as a floor and thus may be configured to include rollable casters, although such casters are not necessary, and it is expressly noted that base 20 could instead be affixed to a wall or other structure, by way of example.
  • Strut 24 in the embodiment of FIG. 1 is disposed on base 20 and is movable with respect to base 20.
  • bed 12 can be described as comprising a platform 28, a pair of side guards 31, and a pair of end guards 32.
  • Side guards 31 and end guards 32 are formed of a rigid materials such as an acrylic and are situated peripherally about platform 28 to retain the patient on platform 28 as bed 12 is moved among the various bed positions.
  • Platform 28 includes a generally planar platform surface 34 upon which the patient would be disposed. It is noted that bed 12 might further include a mattress that would likely be situated on platform surface 34 upon which the patient would be disposed.
  • bed 12 is movable with respect to base 20.
  • the embodiment depicted generally in FIG. 1 includes bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 being affixed to strut 24, with strut 24 being pivotable on a pin 36 of support 8.
  • strut 24 is pivotable about a pivot axis 40 that extends through pin 36, and bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 thus are likewise pivotable in a fixed relation to one another about pivot axis 40 and pin 36.
  • Bed 12 might be configured to allow movement only to about 20° with respect to horizontal, or another appropriate position, to limit the potential for the patient to roll off bed 12.
  • bed 12, strut 24, and radiant heater assembly 16 might be partially or fully dynamically balanced about pit 36 to enable a person of limited size and strength to pivot bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 about pivot axis 40.
  • Pin 36 is depicted in FIG. 1 as extending into the plane of the page of FIG. 1 and into base 20. It is understood that in other embodiments not expressly depicted herein, pin 36 may be otherwise positioned or may be covered or otherwise hidden from view, etc. In this regard, it is also understood that bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 will still be pivotable about pivot axis 40 in fixed relation to one another regardless of whether pin 36 is actually visible.
  • support 8 is likely to include a locking mechanism, any number of which can be easily envisioned by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art.
  • an exemplary locking system 35 might include a notched wheel 37 having a plurality of notches 39 that can each receive a portion of a pawl 41 therein.
  • pin 36 might be affixed to strut 24, and notched wheel might in turn be affixed to pin 36.
  • pawl 41 might be situated on base 20.
  • the elements of locking system 35 can be otherwise arranged, and other types of locking systems may be employed without departing from the present concept.
  • Locking mechanism 35 would enable strut 24 to be locked in a given position with respect to base 20. Such locking of strut 24 would have the effect of locking bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 in a particular position with respect to base 20.
  • Other types of locking mechanisms might include frictional systems wherein a certain force is required to overcome a frictional lock in order to move bed 12 or might include electronic locking systems that employ magnetic forces to selectively limit movement of bed 12.
  • Servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43 as is depicted in Fig. 1B or an alternative exemplary servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43A as is depicted in Fig. 1C could be employed with bed apparatus 4.
  • Servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43 might include a servo motor 45 that is operated by a controller 47 and is operatively connected with a shaft 49. Shaft 49 connects with a worm gear 51 which interfaces with a worm gear 53 that is connected with pin 36.
  • Servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43 thus can provide motorized adjustment of bed 12 among its plurality of bed positions along with contemporaneous movement of radiant heater assembly 16.
  • Servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43 would also effectively lock bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 in a given position until controller 47 is operated to move bed apparatus 4 to a different position.
  • Servomotor drive adjustment mechanism 43 might operate in a similar fashion and might include a servo motor 55 that is operated by a controller 57 and is operatively connected with a shaft 59. Shaft 59 connects with a spur gear 61 which interfaces with another spur gear 63 that is connected with pin 36.
  • servo motors 45 and 55 and controllers 47 and 57 could be replaced with a hand crank.
  • FIGS. 1D-1F depict another exemplary locking mechanism 65 incorporated into the bed apparatus 4. More particularly, FIGS. ID and IE depict locking mechanism 65 as including a lockable gas spring system 67 (FIG. ID) and an adjustment mechanism 69 ( FIG. 1E ), and FIG IF depicts bed apparatus 4 with locking mechanism 65 installed thereon.
  • FIGS. ID and IE depict locking mechanism 65 as including a lockable gas spring system 67 (FIG. ID) and an adjustment mechanism 69 ( FIG. 1E ), and FIG IF depicts bed apparatus 4 with locking mechanism 65 installed thereon.
  • the lockable gas spring system 67 includes a gas-pressurized cylinder 70 and a telescoping rod 71.
  • a pressurized gas such as nitrogen or another appropriate gas that is situated within gas-pressurized cylinder 70 biases telescoping rod 71 in a direction generally away from gas-pressurized cylinder 70.
  • Gas-pressurized cylinder 70 is connected with a bracket 72 to base 20, and telescoping rod 71 is connected with another bracket 73 to strut 24.
  • the pressurized gas within gas-pressurized cylinder 70 and the resultant biasing of telescoping rod 71 provides an additional lifting force to facilitate the pivoted lifting of strut 24 against gravity.
  • telescoping rod 71 is pushed to strut 24 in a direction toward gas-pressurized cylinder 70 and further compresses the pressurized gas situated therein.
  • the biasing of telescoping rod 71 by the pressurized gas provides the additional lifting force when pivoting strut 24 in the counter-clockwise direction from the perspective of FIG. 1F .
  • Lockable gas spring system 67 further includes a locking apparatus 68 that includes a telescoping plunger 75 and a lever 76 that pivots about an axle 77.
  • a locking apparatus 68 that includes a telescoping plunger 75 and a lever 76 that pivots about an axle 77.
  • lever 76 when lever 76 is caused to pivot about axle 77 in the direction indicated with the arrow 74, plunger 75 is depressed in a direction generally toward gas-pressurized cylinder 70 which causes the inter-locking structures to be released and to enable telescoping rod 71 to telescope with respect to gas-pressurized cylinder 70.
  • strut 24 is pivotable with respect to base 20.
  • Lever 76 is caused to be pivoted in the direction of arrow 74 in the aforementioned fashion by actuation of adjustment mechanism 69.
  • adjustment mechanism 69 includes a mounting element 78 to which are connected a handle 80, a release apparatus 81, and a cable apparatus 82.
  • Mounting element 78 typically is fastened using bolts or other fasteners to platform 28 in such a fashion that handle 80 is readily accessible, as is indicated in FIG. 1F .
  • Handle 80 is stationary with respect to mounting element 78.
  • release apparatus 81 is movable with respect to mounting element 78. More particularly, release apparatus 81 includes a grip 83 connected with a mount 84 and is biased via a pair of springs 86 in a direction generally away from handle 80.
  • Cable apparatus 82 includes a hollow sheath 87 mounted to a retention element 88 that is affixed to strut 24. Cable apparatus 82 also includes an elongated flexible cable 90 that is movable within the interior of sheath 87 and further includes a pair of lugs 91 and 92 affixed at opposite ends of cable 90. Cable apparatus 82 is in the exemplary form of a Bowden cable, although other types of motion-transferring structures can be employed without departing from the present concept.
  • cable apparatus 82 functionally extends between lockable gas spring system 67 and release apparatus 81 in order to enable the plunger 75 to be depressed remotely from wherever adjustment mechanism 69 is positioned on platform 28.
  • Retention element 88 at one end of sheath 87 retains that end of sheath 87 stationary with respect to strut 24.
  • the opposite end of sheath 87 is affixed to a leg 93 of mounting element 78 in order to keep such opposite end of sheath 87 stationary with respect to mounting element 78 and release apparatus 81.
  • Lug 91 is connected with lever 76, as can be seen at FIG. ID, and lug 92 is connected with mount 84, as can be seen in FIG. IE.
  • springs 86 bias grip 83 and mount 84 in a direction opposite the arrow 94, thus causing lever 76 to pivot in a direction opposite the arrow 74 to lock telescoping rod 71 and gas-pressurized cylinder 70 into position with respect to one another, thus locking the position of the strut 24 and thus the platform 28 in a given position with respect to base 20.
  • Locking mechanism 95 can be incorporated into bed apparatus 4 in place of locking mechanism 65.
  • Locking mechanism 95 includes a lead screw 96 that is pivotably disposed on base 20 and a follower 97 that is threadably cooperable with lead screw 96 and which is connected to strut 24. Locking mechanism 95 further includes a handle 98 and a set of bevel gears 99 interposed between handle 98 and lead screw 96.
  • rotating of the handle 98 causes cooperative operation of bevel gears 99 to achieve rotation of lead screw 96 and resultant translation of follower 97 along the longitudinal extent of lead screw 96. Since follower 97 is connected with strut 24, such movement of the handle 98 causes pivoting of strut 24 with respect to base 20. It thus can be understood that locking mechanism 95 serves as an adjustment system to pivot strut 24 and thus platform 28 with respect to base 20.
  • Locking mechanism 95 further serves as a retention system to retain strut 24 in a given position with respect to base 20. More particularly, the threads of lead screw 96 are at an angle of less than 45° (forty-five degrees) which serves as a locking mechanism. That is, the relatively shallow angle of threads on lead screw 96 resists forces (such as gravitational forces) on follower 97 from rotating lead screw 96. It is understood that lead screw 96 can be threaded at an angle other than 45° without departing from the present concept so long as the forces that can reasonably be expected to be experienced by follower 97 are insufficient to rotate lead screw 96, which will desirably avoid unintended pivoting of strut 24 with respect to base 20.
  • bed 12 is movable about pivot axis 40 among a plurality of bed positions, with two such bed positions being depicted.
  • radiant heater assembly 16 is movable about pivot axis 40 among a plurality of heater positions, with two such heater positions being depicted in FIG. 1 . Since strut 24 extends fixedly between platform 28 and radiant heater assembly 16, movement of bed 12 about pivot axis 40 among the various bed positions correspondingly results in contemporaneous movement of radiant heater assembly 16 among the plurality of heater positions. As can further be understood from FIG.
  • radiant heater assembly 16 is of an elongated configuration and remains substantially parallel with platform surface 34, and thus with any mattress that may be disposed thereon, in all of the various bed positions and corresponding heater positions.
  • Radiant heater assembly 16 can be any of a wide variety of heater apparatuses and typically will include a radiant heating element of a type that is generally understood in the relevant art.
  • pin 36 and pivot axis are depicted as being situated underneath bed 12, meaning near an end of strut 24 and between bed 12 and a floor upon which bed apparatus 4 is disposed.
  • base 20 could have an upwardly extending mounting element which would enable pin 36 to be connected with base 20 at about the midpoint of strut 24. This would allow the lateral travel of radiant heater assembly 16 that is depicted in Fig. 1 to be relatively lessened by being divided among lateral movements of both bed 12 and radiant heater assembly 16 about pivot axis 40, which would be situated at a vertically higher position than is depicted from the perspective of FIG. 1 .
  • Other variations can be envisioned.
  • Bed apparatus 104 includes a support 108 upon which are disposed a bed 112 and a radiant heater assembly 116.
  • Support 108 includes a base 120 and a strut 124, with strut 124 being of an arcuate, partial annular configuration having a fixed radius and having bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116 affixed thereto.
  • base 120 includes a sliding connection 136 within which strut 124 is slidably disposed.
  • Sliding connection 136 includes structures that are described below in connection with FIG. 2A and which enable strut 124 to remain disposed on base 120 yet to slide with respect thereto.
  • strut 124 and thus bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116, pivot about a pivot axis 140 that is disposed between bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116. That is, pivot axis 140 is disposed between and spaced from support 108, bed 112, and radiant heater assembly 116.
  • Bed 112 includes a platform 134 having a substantially planar platform surface 134, a pair of side guards 131, and a pair of end guards 132 disposed on platform surface 134.
  • Pivot axis 140 in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2 extends into the plane of the page of FIG. 2 .
  • bed apparatus 104 is movable to enable a plurality of bed positions of bed 112 and a plurality of heater positions of radiant heater assembly 116, with bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116 moving contemporaneously about pivot axis 140 to cause radiant heater assembly 116 to remain parallel and aligned with bed 112 and platform surface 134 regardless of the particular position of bed 112 with respect to base 120. That is, the fixed relationship between bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116 by both being affixed to strut 124 enables bed 112 and radiant heater assembly 116 to move in concert and to cause the relative position therebetween to remain constant. Such constant relative position promotes uniformity of irradiance of a patient disposed on bed 112, which is desirable.
  • sliding connection 136 includes a locking mechanism 165 that can be said to include a lead screw mechanism 166 and a movement mechanism 168. It is to be understood that FIG. 2A depicts merely one exemplary embodiment of sliding connection 136, and that variations can be employed without departing from the main concept.
  • Lead screw mechanism 166 is disposed on base 120 and includes a lead screw 170, a handle 172, a moving block 176, and a drive pin 178.
  • Lead screw 170 is rotatably disposed on base 120 and can be cranked by rotating handle 172.
  • Moving block 176 is threadably cooperable with lead screw 170 such that rotation of lead screw 170 results in translation of moving block 176 along the longitudinal extent of lead screw 170.
  • drive pin 178 is situated in a slot 194 formed in moving block 176.
  • Drive pin 178 is also mounted to a pair of mounting brackets 180 that are depicted in FIG. 2A and that are depicted in greater detail in FIG. 2B . More particularly, strut 124 can be seen in FIG. 2B as including a pair of angle elements 181, with each mounting bracket 180 being affixed to an associated angle element 181. Angle elements 181 and mounting brackets 180 can be affixed together in any of a variety of fashions including, by way of example, welding, adhering, fastening, co-forming, and the like without limitation. Platform 128 is mounted to outwardly-protruding wings 183 of mounting brackets 180.
  • Movement mechanism 168 can be said to include a set of rollers 182 mounted to a pair of plates 184 of base 120. More particularly, each plate 184 has, in the exemplary embodiment depicted herein, six of the rollers 182 rotatably disposed thereon. Only two of the rollers 182 from among the twelve rollers 182 of the movement mechanism 168 are depicted in FIG. 2B for purposes of clarity.
  • each angle element 181 of strut 124 can be said to include a first leg 186 and a second leg 188 that are connected together.
  • Mounting brackets 180 can be said to be generally affixed to first legs 186, whereas second legs 188 generally interact with rollers 182. It is noted that in alternate embodiments first legs 186 may also interact with certain rollers. As can be understood from FIG.
  • the six rollers 182 of each plate 184 are arranged such that two of the six rollers 182 rollably interact with an upper surface 190 of second leg 188, with the other four of the six rollers 182 rollably interacting with a lower surface 192 of the second leg 188, with the terms "upper” and “lower” being from the perspective of FIG. 2A .
  • locking mechanism 165 serves as a mechanism by which strut 124 and platform 128 can be moved about pivot axis 140
  • locking mechanism 165 further can lock strut 124 in a given position with respect to base 120 by configuring the thread of lead screw 170 to have a desirably shallow angle that will resist the forces (such as gravitational forces) in strut 124 from being transferred via moving block 176 and causing unintended rotation of lead screw 170. Rather, the thread of lead screw 170 is at an angle of 45° (forty-five degrees) or less to resist such unintended movement of lead screw 170 by strut 124. It is understood, however, that the thread of lead screw 170 can be at other angles appropriate to the application without departing from the present concept.
  • Bed apparatus 204 includes a support 208 upon which are disposed a bed 212 and a radiant heater assembly 216.
  • Support 208 includes a base 220 and a strut 224. While bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 are movable about a pivot axis 240, it can be understood that bed apparatus 204 is different from bed apparatus 4 and bed apparatus 104 in that radiant assembly 216 and bed 212 are independent. That is, bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 are not both affixed to strut 224. However, bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 are both movable about pivot axis 240, and scales are provided in order to enable manual alignment between bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 to enable them to be oriented substantially parallel with one another.
  • Bed 212 includes a platform 228 having a substantially planar platform surface 234, a pair of side guards 231, and a pair of end guards 232.
  • Support 208 further includes a pin 236 disposed thereon about which platform 228 is pivotable. Pivot axis 240 thus extends through pin 236 and is depicted in FIG. 3 as extending into the plane of the page of FIG. 3 . As can be understood from FIG. 3 , therefore, bed 212 is movable about pin 236 and about pivot axis 240 among a plurality of bed positions.
  • FIG. 3 depicts in a schematic fashion a bed indicator 244 that extends from platform 228 in a direction generally toward base 220 and further depicts in a schematic fashion a bed scale 248 formed on base 220.
  • Bed indicator 244 is connected with platform 228 and moves therewith and points toward bed scale 248.
  • bed scale 248 includes a plurality of graduations 250 situated at different angular positions about pivot axis 240. When bed 212 is moved to a particular bed position, bed indicator 244 points to a particular location among graduations 250 of bed scale 248, thus indicating to a nurse, technician, or other individual the particular position of bed 212 with respect to support 208.
  • FIG. 3 further depicts at the numeral 252 a path of movement of radiant heater assembly 216 with respect to strut 224. While radiant heater assembly 216 is movable among a plurality of heater positions, it is understood that such movement is independent of bed 212. It can be seen from FIG. 3 , however, that path of movement 252 is a circular arc having pivot axis 240 at its center. That is, radiant heater assembly 216 moves on path of movement 252 about pivot axis 240, as does bed 212.
  • radiant heater assembly 216 potentially can move through a slot formed in strut 224, can move along a track situated on strut 224, or can otherwise be movably disposed on strut 224 in any of a wide variety of fashions that can be contemplated by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art.
  • a heater indicator 254 extends from radiant heater assembly 216, and a heater scale 256 is disposed on strut 224 and having a plurality of graduations 260. As radiant heater assembly 216 is manually moved among the plurality of heater positions, heater indicator 254 will point to a position indicated among the plurality of graduations 260 of heater scale 256. In this regard, it can be seen that graduations 260 are spaced along path of movement 252 and are each oriented generally toward pivot axis 240, which further indicates the fashion in which radiant heater assembly 216 is movable about pivot axis 240.
  • bed indicator 244 and heater indicator 254 the position of radiant heater assembly 216 along path of movement 252 can be matched with the rotational position of bed 212, and vice versa, about pin 236 and pivot axis 240.
  • bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 are movable independent of one another and each has a locking mechanism that is not expressly depicted herein but that is well within the skill of a person having ordinary skill in the relevant art.
  • bed 212 and radiant heater 216 are both disposed on strut 224, it is understood that bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 are both independently movable with respect to support 208 and, in particular, with respect to strut 224.
  • Bed indicator 244 and bed scale 248 enable the specific bed position of bed 212 with respect to support 208 to be ascertained, and heater indicator 254 and heater scale 256 likewise enable the specific heater position of radiant heater assembly 216 with respect to support 218 to be ascertained.
  • the movability of bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 thus enables one or the other or both to be positioned such that radiant heater assembly 216 remains substantially parallel with platform surface 234 to promote uniformity of irradiance of bed 212 and likewise of a patient situated on bed 212.
  • bed indicator 244, bed scale 248, heater indicator 254, and heater scale 256 to enable manual alignment of bed 212 and radiant heater assembly 216 is merely an example of the way in which the position of each with respect to support 208 can be indicated to a nurse, technician, or other person.
